We start off with shoulders and then move onto the triceps and biceps, where we super set the bicep and triceps exercises.

What is a super set? A super set is where you perform one exercise straight after another.

This workout can be done by pretty much anyone, male or female who has a bit of experience in the gym. For the beginners, you can also do it, just maybe scale back on two or three of the exercises or decrease the amount of sets you do per exercise. The rep ranges are all between 6 and 15, so nothing too heavy, but you need to choose a weight which will suit you. Do not try to go too heavy too quickly.

Exercise 5:

Sets: 3Reps: 7 for each partial, 7 full range

*Partial reps are when you do the bottom half of the movement of an exercise, then the top half, and then the full movement. For example take bicep curls. First you would curl the weight up half way, up to the bottom of your chest for say seven reps, then you would curl from the bottom of your chest to your chin for another seven reps, and then lastly you would do the full curling movement from the bottom all the way up to your chin for the last seven reps.
